You sound wonderful together- great song, wonderful vocals!

Well Mike, you certanily seem to know how to really take Miranda's fantastic and consistent piano and blossom it into quite an amazing piece of musical work.  Most fine production skills.  Respect.

A little idea with the piano, with light percussive spices, plus bass and lead from the synthesizer, rounded off with an airy "choir".

I bought this children's guitar at GoodWill for less than $15... I put $6 worth of good nylon strings on it.  And then I just played it.  Maybe I'm out of line... especially since I set the levels too high when recording it.  But there's something about this recording: I guess beauty is in the ear of the beholder...

- Refuge -

where people went
in times of war.
we're many here
but war has sent
so many more.

all are allowed
and all attend.
some in hell
their lives have spent.

not all found out
just what it meant
to love the one
before the end.

Without Running

it's fine, is seems
you stop, believe
the simple words
rain starts to blur

droppin' down your trail
put it in the mill
next up on your list
send a handy wish

full daisy chains
'n stacked remains
a joke that fits
non stick surface

this massive charge
come foolish hearts
you mix love in
on top of it
a hundred firsts
go unrehearsed
perplexing wind
to lure you in

Mira’s music to me is often full of reminiscence. When I heard these lovely piano samples I felt that I could express a similar feel with lyrics and additional instruments. I think many of us remember their days of joy and lighthearted energy. This is what this song is about… moments we cherish…  we once knew and shared with our loved ones.

I started with a set of Mira’s piano samples https://soundcloud.com/mirandashvangiradze and started building the track with drums and vocals. During the process of adding other instrument, the process of creating and mixing I updated Mira with ‘in between’ mixes. We contacted each other about some ideas and Mira spontaneously recorded her back vocals. It became a full collaboration and boy… do I like the result :))

Piano, backing vocals and initial mix of these by Mira
Lyrics, vocals, Fender Strat guitar, Fender Jazz bass, drum programming, Yamaha keyboard, arrangement, mix and production by me.

Lyrics of  "Remember":

I remember – the days of sunlight
At the garden table – the happy faces
Everyone had a tale
Fooled around, ate some drink some
Those are the days to remember

Everyone was there
Children playing
The dog running – in circles
I remember your face
With a smile
Preciously caught in time

Those were the days – my pride
I want to recall this time
The way we were back then
Easy and so cheerful

Those were the days – my anchor
All that I want remember
The way it used to be
Without a future worry

(remember, remember, remember)

Those were the days – my pride
I want to recall this time
The way we were back then
Easy and so cheerful

Those were the days – my anchor
All that I want remember
The way it used to be
Without a future worry

Those days are gone now
Lying in the tall grass
You took my hand and I
Knew that you’d understand

Nothing lasts forever
Despite what we endeavor
We ceased the days of blessing
All of what I’m caressing
